Very good information on the 10mm, some of which I had heard from law enforcement contacts and had never read before:

Excellent article.  I especially like that it omits the revisionist history about the 10mm being too hot for agents so it was watered down.  The watering down occurred years before an agent was issued a gun.

Yes exactly. This fact isn't common knowledge for some reason.

I appreciate the kind feedback.

That myth is the one of the reasons I wrote the article.  I keep seeing it show up in magazine articles, blogs, and forums, and I got tired of writing the same comment over and over.

I'll keep updating and expanding the article as I have time and find additional material to share.
